It was a case of too many skateboarding injuries and too much time off the boards that led Melbourne skater mates Duncan Ewington and Kris Whiting to whip up their answer to pain, The Cream. After plenty of probing, researching and a whole lot of trial and error, the boys developed the ultimate recipe to speed up injury recovery and get skateboarders back on their boards faster.

From L-plater nicks to daredevil damage, all manner of scratches and scrapes can be eased by this clever little ointment. Its primary ingredient is the healing herb comfrey – also known as ‘knitbone’ – and we’re pretty sure it fixes the hurt better than your mum ever could. Relieving swelling, bruising and muscle and joint pain, The Cream also boasts clever packaging, with a subtle nod to the old-school tobacco tins of the past. Find The Cream at Skatebiz on Albert Street or online.
